Buying in Spain

Since buying our property in Punta Prima we have set up our own agency to help other British buyers find their dream home in Spain with minimum hassle. When I say Spain , we are concentrating on the Costa Blanca and Costa Calida for now because that is the area we know best and are still producing good growth for investors.  

We have been through the whole process which at best is frustrating and at worst - down right infuriating. However, we don’t regret a thing and have learnt an awful lot about property in Spain and the way things are done.  

We bought our place in 2003 off plan for £160k, took delivery in May 2005 and the same apartment is now selling for over £200k. Even though we don’t intend selling it because it’s our dream holiday home for now and future retirement haven, it’s nice to know its growing in value.  

The Southern Costa Blanca and Costa Calida are areas of massive investment and development and are predicted to grow fast for the next 10 years.  

Be Careful – There Are Many Pitfalls

This growth means that lots of people are trying to flog property and there are lots of “hard sell” firms trying to get people to sign up without really understanding what they are buying into. These firms advertise heavily, fly you out there and the salesmen will tell you what you want to hear to get their commission. We have met numerous people who have had poor experiences with this type of firm.  

The alternative is to deal direct but this is difficult because of the language barrier and the totally different ways in which the Spanish operate. Believe me if you have ever found it difficult to deal with a bank or solicitor in the UK then Spain is a total minefield. 

Here’s How We Can Help  

We have teamed up with our Spanish property agent and now very good friend, Oscar Lopez, to offer would be British buyers a unique personal and trustworthy service.  

The first step is to meet up in the UK to discuss the whole experience and process of buying a property in Spain . We can discuss:  

The type of property you might be looking for.

Prices and your budget

The buying process and legal obligations in Spain

Dealing with solicitors and notaries

Dealing with the bank and setting up finance via a Spanish mortgage

Dealing with builders when buying a new build

Renting your property in the future

The TRUE costs of buying and running a property in Spain  

The above service is free of charge and without obligation and if you are still keen to explore the potential in more depth then we can arrange for you to fly to Spain . Here you will be met at the airport by Oscar who will be your chauffeur and guide. He will have been briefed as to the type of property you are looking for and have a planned route of excellent properties for you to view.  

You might only want Oscar for a day and then decide to go off on your own, it’s completely up to you. What we offer is lots of knowledge, total honesty and absolutely NO PRESSURE.  

Once again the above service is free apart from the flights and accommodation which you pay for direct.  

If you are interested in this service then contact me on the number below or drop me an email and we can arrange to meet.
